In this article, a compensation method using power theory was proposed to improve the stability of a three-phase PWM inverter with respect to the additional poles introduced by the LC part.
Abstract
The demand for three-phase pulsewidth modulation (PWM) inverters in applications such as power control or grid connecting has been on the increase in recent years. Such inverters are connected to the grid via an L filter or an LCL filter to reduce the harmonics caused by the switching. An LCL filter can reduce the harmonics induced by low switching frequency and generates a satisfactory level of grid-side current using a relatively low inductance, as compared to an L filter. The additional poles introduced by the LC part induces resonance in the system, leading to stability problems; this paper presents a compensation method using power theory to improve these issues, so that the performance of the designed LCL filter system can be improved. The effectiveness of the proposed algorithm is verified by simulations and experiments.

Exploring inherent damping characteristic of LCL-filters for three-phase grid-connected voltage source inverters

TL;DR: In this paper, the inherent damping characteristic of LCL filters for three-phase grid-connected voltage source inverters is investigated, and a general design guideline for choosing values of grid and converter-side inductors, so that optimum damping can be achieved by solely using converter current control, doing away with active damping, passive damping or complex state observer.

TL;DR: The LLCL filter as mentioned in this paper inserts a small inductor in the branch loop of the capacitor in the traditional LCL filter to compose a series resonant circuit at the switching frequency, which attenuates the switching-frequency current ripple components much better than an LCL filtering.
